Muslims win toy pigs ban

NOVELTY pig calendars and toys have been banned from a council office — in case they offend Muslim staff. Workers in the benefits department at Dudley Council, West Midlands, were told to remove or cover up all pig-related items, including toys, porcelain figures, calendars and even a tissue box featuring Winnie the Pooh and Piglet.

Bosses acted after a Muslim complained about pig-shaped stress relievers delivered to the council in the run-up to the Islamic festival of Ramadan.

Muslims are barred from eating pork in the Koran and consider pigs unclean.

Councillor Mahbubur Rahman, a practising Muslim, backed the ban. He said: “It’s a tolerance of people’s beliefs.”

What a bunch of doucebags, if they don't want to work around piggie toys, they can find another job. I'm going to use extra bacon bits on my salad today.

How can a ban=tolerance?

OTOH, does this mean there will be no pictures of Michael Moore in the office in question?

One day, when I'm a mulit-trillionaire, I'm going to launch a couple thousand bomb(loaded with bacon) at the city of Mecca. They'll thank me for it one day.
In the meantime, I'm content with eating extra servings of southern-fried, hearty-thick slices of bacon.

How long will it take for them to start banning pork from the super market?

INCREMENTALISM --

Little by little, the assholes will cover America with their Islamic camel crap, and Americans will "see" how good it really is. It is very difficult to see one's enemy with both thumbs up one's ass.
